Chapter 135 Eastern Intervention Fleet?(1/2)
"Qianlong is now rich."
The news that Qianlong was robbing salt merchants in Yangzhou soon reached the ears of Zhu Daohua, who had just arrived in Guangzhou.
The Yangzhou salt merchants were richer than the Thirteenth Bank.
Jin Yiwei couldn't get a specific figure on how much money Qianlong got from this one - maybe even Qianlong himself couldn't calculate the specific figure.
But a conservative estimate is that the silver alone exceeds fifteen million taels.
This is the fourth day since Zhu Daohua returned to Guangzhou.
Yesterday, scholars who came to Guangzhou to take the imperial examination, students from Daohua University, and some scholars from society gathered in the square in front of the Ming Palace.
Dressed very grandly.
He gave Zhu Daohua a "Congratulations from all the people".
I don’t know what to draw either.
"Why, the British Empire dominates the Atlantic Ocean and is now the most powerful country in Europe."
The position of the first Minister of Foreign Affairs belonged to Grand Duke Lin.
Moreover, he has obtained the decree of King Ming to return him to China.
Just copy it.
Gu Song said immediately.
This country is almost five thousand years old.
And radical voices are increasingly gaining the upper hand.
If nothing else happens.
"Didn't Confucianism say that one should restrain oneself and restore etiquette? Now Gu Wang has come to restore this etiquette, but of course it is not Zhou etiquette, but the etiquette of me, Zhu Daohua!"
But the emperor of China is not like this.
Those who have no seed dare not be kings.
It can be said that he is a model of benevolence through the ages.
Now Zhu Daohua is looking through these persuasion forms.
"Bread, work!"
And the Chinese tradition is that the emperor takes turns and comes to my house next year.
There are so many violent incidents happening in this city of London.
"Destiny?" Zhu Daohua frowned slightly.
Since the Pacific route has not yet been opened, it is a little bit more difficult for Guangdong cotton to enter the North American market.
The London Parliament was filled with shouts of fighting and killing.
He was beaten to death by the emperor in court.
That's really a merciless killing.
Gu Song was slightly startled.
Gu Song looked at Zhu Daohua blankly.
There are many literati who are willing to risk their lives to leave their name in history.
Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?
It is a question in China.
Naturally, there are many people who flatter horses.
The more radical plan is to issue privateering licenses widely in the Indian Ocean to prevent Chinese merchant ships from sailing out of Malacca.
Under this national situation.
On the one hand, this has squeezed out the source of raw materials for the British cotton textile industry. On the other hand, it has also pushed up the price of cotton, further causing the cost of the British cotton textile industry to rise to a point that the British cotton textile industry cannot bear.
If that's all it is, it's not too much of a stretch.
That is truly immortal.
But this trick didn't work in the Qing Dynasty.
Since ancient times, there have been countless people who founded a country and proclaimed themselves emperor.
During this period, workers also burned textile machines and even stormed Downing Street in London.
at the same time.
Safe and secure.
"Your Majesty, I think that establishing a constitution, convening a parliament, and giving power to the people is actually a recipe for disaster!"
European kings are all about blood, so it is not something ordinary people can do.
Most of the dynastic changes in Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire were caused by inheritance and rarely by force of arms.
Guangdong cotton has better quality, lower prices and higher output.
But one thing is that I like to toss too much.
What can be done now is only a general outline, and the details will have to be filled in slowly.
"Of course, the lonely king will not copy Europa's constitutional government. In fact, there is something similar in our Chinese history, and that is Zhou Li!"
That was the time for Zhu Daohua to enter Jiangning and proclaim himself emperor.
Originally, it was based on Lu Song's idea.
What was even more radical was to besiege Guangzhou with gunboats and force the Ming Dynasty to give up the production of cotton textile industry.
No wonder His Majesty has allowed officials, doctors, and wealthy gentry from all over the country to enter Guangzhou these days.
But this one is different. He wants to go against tradition.
Zhu Daohua sighed.
As a result, many cotton textile factories have closed down in the past few months.
Europe thousands of miles away.
Before the Qing Dynasty, it was the highest honor for literati.
On the one hand, Daohua Trading Company needed someone to manage it; on the other hand, as Zhu Daohua acquired Lanfang, Guangdong.
in this case.
Lin Dagong, Consul General of the Ming Dynasty in Europe.
"The lonely king wants officials who can give advice and suggestions to the country, but most of the literati in the world are just flatterers." Zhu Daohua said with a sigh.
"It has nothing to do with whether the country is strong or not, it all depends on destiny."
Most of them are these domesticated literati.
"However, constitutional monarchy is the general trend. If the lonely king does not make preparations now, the Ming Dynasty will be overthrown by the republican revolution sooner or later!"
His Majesty, the King of Ming, is good at everything and is very tolerant. He is also polite to his ministers. He will not kill people easily. Even when he gets angry, he will not put people in a cell easily. At most, he will only kill people.
He even scolded a few words and didn't spend much money - the Ming Dynasty might not have as much money as him, and it was quite generous to give out red envelopes to the ministers during the New Year and festivals.
And now under Zhu Daohua’s New Ming Dynasty.
Cotton from cotton plantations in India began to be imported to Guangdong on a large scale.
But with the rise of Guangdong's cotton industry.
A carriage is traveling westward in London.
It can be said that the city of London was in turmoil during this period.
London, UK.
But since Gu Song said so, let’s just believe it.
"Zhou Rites? Your Majesty wants to restore Zhou Rites?" Gu Song said in shock.
But it's different in my Qing Dynasty.
The Manchu literati have had their bones broken by the Manchus. Nowadays, the literati have basically no character, but they are extremely proficient in flattering people.
However, he did not go back with him, but stayed in Europe.
His status has also risen, from the head of the Daohua Trading Company to the chief diplomat of the Ming Dynasty in Europe.
Blocking someone's way of making money is like killing your parents.
A milder approach would just be to raise trade barriers, use gunboats to block the Sino-Indian routes, and ban Chinese merchant ships from going to India.
When the general outline of the Ming Dynasty ceremony was formed and promulgated.
But the one who really wants to formulate a ritual is probably the King Zhu Ming in front of me.
